A GETAWAY driver whose friends yelled Islamic State (ISIS) chants and fired FIREWORKS at Army cadets rehearsing for a Remembrance Day parade has today been jailed for his part in the horrific attack.

Disgraced Mohammed Shabir drove pals to the scene so that they could hurl racist abuse at white cadets who were preparing for this year’s Armistice commemorations, a court was told.

The 23-year-old shop worker was behind the wheel of his car as friends called the youngsters “****ing white b******s” and “white trash” before throwing fireworks into the compound where they were training.

A judge heard the vehicle then sped off at a “stupid” speed, but not before one of the group’s trainers managed to take note of its number plate.

Shamir was caged for five months when he appeared before a judge today over his part in the disgraceful incident.

The group threw fireworks into their compound

Although a judge accepted that he did not shout abuse or throw fireworks himself, he ruled that the shamed youngster had "allied himself" to his friends' actions by driving them to and from the scene in Birmingham.

Prosecuting, David Jackson told the court that more than a dozen cadets were being put through their paces on a parade ground on Bonfire Night when a BMW containing three passengers drove past.

Mr Jackson said "****ing white b******s" was heard being shouted a short time later and fireworks were then thrown into the Army Cadet Force premises.

A member of staff saw what appeared to be a rocket fired over bushes and onto the parade ground, the court heard, before a car was seen driving off at a "stupid" speed and returning seconds later.

Other abusive phrases, including "****ing killers" and "white trash" were then shouted and "mention was made of ISIS” before the car drove away with its lights turned off.

Shamir was arrested in November last year after police used his car’s numberplate to track him down.
